PETG

Discover our vast selection of 1.75 mm & 2.85 mm PETG filaments, manufactured exclusively in France, in our Normandy workshop. A wide range of packaging and colors to meet all your versatile 3D printing needs.

What is PETG and why choose it?

PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) is a thermoplastic filament that combines the best features of PLA and ABS. Here's why PETG has become a popular choice:

  1. Resistance: Offers good mechanical strength and impact resistance.
  2. Ease of use: Easier to print than ABS, with less warping.
  3. Durability: Water and chemical resistant.
  4. Flexibility: Slightly flexible, making it less brittle than PLA.

Key technical data

  • Available diameters: 1.75mm and 2.85mm
  • Printing temperature: 230-250°C
  • Plateau temperature: 70-80°C

Choosing the right PETG filament

Frequently asked questions

  1. What packaging do you offer? Our PETG filament range is available in : Sample, 500g, 750g, 1kg.
    For specific packaging requirements, please contact us.
  2. Is PETG suitable for functional parts? Yes, PETG is excellent for functional parts thanks to its strength and durability. It is particularly suitable for parts requiring flexibility or impact resistance.
  3. How should PETG be stored? Store your coils in a dry place, ideally in an airtight bag with silica gel. PETG is hygroscopic and can absorb moisture from the air.

Common PETG applications

  • Mechanical parts and gears
  • Functional prototypes
  • Parts requiring chemical resistance

Printing tips for optimum results

  1. Temperature setting: start at 240°C for the extruder and adjust according to results.
  2. Tray adhesion: use a tray heated to 75°C for best adhesion.
  3. Print speed :
    • Standard printers: 30-60 mm/s
    • Optimized printers: Up to 80-100 mm/s with well-tuned parameters

    The optimum speed depends on several factors:

    • Model complexity
    • Quality of printer and components
    • Extrusion and plate temperature
    • Desired final print quality
  4. Cooling: Use the cooling fan at 50-70% to avoid overcooling.

Quick comparison: PETG vs. other common filaments

Features PETG PLA ABS
Resistance ★★★★ ★★★ ★★★★
Easy to print ★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★
Thermal resistance ★★★★ ★★ ★★★★★

Choose PETG for a balance between ease of printing and strength. For simple parts, PLA remains an easy option, while ABS offers better thermal resistance.
